Seaford home prices: why the median looks flat
At first glance, Seaford home prices look flat: the 2026 median sale price ($800,000) is almost identical to 2025’s ($810,000). But the typical Seaford home sold this year was about 200 square feet smaller than last year’s. Buyers are paying about the same money for less house, which means Seaford home values per square foot have gone up.
Market conditions
Is Seaford a buyer’s or seller’s market?
Seaford is a seller’s market right now. Three signs point that way:
Over asking
Homes sell above list price
The typical Seaford home sold for 102.5% of its list price, so a home listed at $800,000 typically sold for about $820,000.
Fast
Homes sell quickly
Half of this year’s sales went under contract in 18 days or less, a few days faster than in 2025.
Steady
Demand is strong
With 101 sales by late October, 2026 is already close to all of 2025’s 113 sales, and well-priced homes are still drawing multiple offers.
For sellers
What this means if you’re selling a house in Seaford
A seller’s market doesn’t mean every home sells itself. The Seaford homes that sell fastest and for the most money have a few things in common.
-
Priced from the closest comparable sales
Not a Zestimate. Seaford values change block by block: the school district line north of Jerusalem Avenue, flood zones south of Merrick Road and canal-front lots all move price.
-
Paperwork in order
Open permits or missing Certificates of Occupancy from the Town of Hempstead are one of the most common causes of delayed closings.
-
Marketed aggressively
Professional photos, a walkthrough video for social media and a Zillow 3D Home Tour put a home in front of the largest pool of buyers, and more buyers competing is what pushes the final price over asking.

For buyers
What this means if you’re buying a home in Seaford
Expect competition on well-priced homes, especially those in the Seaford school district and near the water. Get pre-approved before you start looking, be ready to move quickly, and don’t be surprised if the winning offer lands above asking. Homes that have sat for a few weeks are where buyers tend to find more room to negotiate.
